Crash Course

Beginner Lessons – Our crash course is the perfect place to start if you are new to swing or dancing in general. We hold this extended, two-hour lesson on the fourth Thursday of every month. It is designed to begin with first steps and mastering the basics. We’ll take you from zero to swing hero! No experience or partner is necessary.

We will not have the Crash Course in November or December due to the holidays.

Upcoming Crash Course

TBD

SwingCville’s Crash Course dates back to 2009. This two-hour beginner workshop starts from the ground up, with the most basic movements and concepts. No prior dance experience is required. It’s the best way to put you on the fast-track to having fun with swing dance!

This class is excellent for first-timers as well as the more experienced dancers who are looking to refresh themselves in the basics and foundations.

What Should I Bring?

Wear comfortable, flat-soled shoes. You do not need to go out and purchase new dance shoes, but we do recommend that beginners stay away from high-heels or shoes with a lot of tread.

We provide snacks & water at all dance events, so no worries about bringing those things.
